I've searched this site, and the CIC site trying to find out what to expect when applying for a multi-entry TRV. I've seen references on this site to 2 or 3 years.
Is there a "typical" number of years? Is it possible to ask for a five year validity?
I'll be applying for this visa in Kiev, so would be particularly interested if anyone had experience with it there.
Edit: Finding a little more info as I look around:
CIC in Canada: 5 year maximum
UAE Embassy: 3 year maximum
Jordan Embassy: 18 months maximum.
Seems that the validity period is dependent on location. What would it be for Ukraine?

I have seen people getting 1 to 3 years validity of the multiple entry TRV. I have not heard of the 5-year multiple entry though. |

I agree. the maximum you can get is 3 year multiple entry to Canada. unlike the US that can give you upto 10 years!

You may agree, but you are wrong. See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op11-eng.pdf"A multiple-entry visa: • has a maximum validity date of up to five years or one month prior to the expiry date on the passport/re-entry visa, whichever is earlier." PMM |

thank you for the correction PMM, I didn't know that, maybe mostly because it's so rare to get a 5 years one! thank you again |

Still depends upon the officer at POE. Normally 6 months is given. Only difference is you can leave then come back again within the validity of the multiple TRV. But coming back too soon, the officer might put a cap on the visit. |

I think so, as long as the reason for the request for extension is a valid one. I've seen posts of extension requests being granted to as much as a year. |

thank you again. it definitely needs to be a special reason for having it extended for such a long time. is it possible to ask for such an extension or it's totally up to them to decide how much to give?

I told them I wanted to stay with my wife and asked for 6 months, and they gave me 1 year. I don't know why, as there was no comment on this. I just received my extended status document in the mail which was valid for an extra year.

thank you again for your reply, as I understand there's no limit of days to stay in Canada in visitors status, if they can extend it for a year.

In theory they can keep extending you forever, but in reality they are unlikely to do so.  This is where they exercise discretion. |
